Dex would make sense, but I really want a more natural solution. If anything, instead of adding a new drug, I may switch back to an atypical antidepressant (SSNRI) like Serzone. My (now thought of as Migraine) symptoms changed when I developed a bad reaction to Serzone and had to get off suddenly. I think the stress of not knowing what was going on, plus changing my brain chemistry really affected me negatively. So I'm thinking of trying to switch to Effexor, which has a similar structure to Serzone. Does this sound logical?
My ultimate goal is to be drug-free. The dex makes a lot of sense though, since dopamine lessens pain and improves our ability to focus -- both symptoms I have in migraine.
Thanks for the suggestion,
